10: Chapter 10 is not as good as radio calisthenics.

Su Xueer also wanted to see what kind of peerless martial arts Lin Heng was practicing.

After all, being able to pull off those previous feats meant that Lin Heng must not be weak in other areas either.

She quickly followed behind Lin Heng.

Arriving in the backyard, Su Xueer skillfully set up the livestreaming equipment and then began to wait for Lin Heng to practice his martial arts with a heart full of joy.

If he didn't practice the Buddha's Palm, he should at least practice the Toad Style, right?

In short, she believed it was absolutely impossible for Lin Heng to do anything low-level.

At the same time, the viewers in the livestream room all started to gather around to watch the show, not expecting that they would actually witness the wuxia world written by Jin Yong.

It truly was exciting!

This wonderful online world was indeed dazzling.

And just as all eyes were upon him, Lin Heng began his exercise.

Whew...

Lin Heng first exhaled a breath.

Then he exhaled another breath.

This...

Everyone was stunned.

The expression on Su Xueer's face became quite strange.

The livestream room was filled with comments typed in frustration.

“What is this guy doing? Does he think we're suckers? This counts as practicing martial arts? If so, wouldn't I be a peerless hero just by breathing every day?”

“Could it be the breathing technique from xianxia novels, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth?”

“Stop it, I've been breathing for over twenty years and I don't see any horns growing on my head.”

“Wait! Look, Lin Heng moved!”

Following that bullet comment, everyone began to focus intently.

However, Lin Heng's actions never failed to disappoint.

Watching these movements that were as slow as a koala, everyone was confused.

Striking a pose, it looked a bit like practicing Tai Chi.

But to be fair, even the seventy or eighty-year-old grandmas and grandpas in the park would move faster than Lin Heng.

While praising Lin Heng for being as steady as an old dog, they also expressed their doubts.

Practicing Tai Chi so slowly at such a young age—is he about to kick the bucket?

The bullet comments were also momentarily stunned; there were surprisingly few messages.

It was quite a rare sight.

However, someone soon noticed something was wrong.

After carefully observing Lin Heng's movements, someone immediately sent a bullet comment.

“This is the Eight Section Vajra Skill!”

“What the hell is the Vajra Technique?”

“I've only heard of the Vajra Sutra, the one the poor scholar wrapped around himself in Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio, but I've never heard of the Vajra Technique.”

“Has the Vajra passed away? Why is he moving so slowly?”

“Probably got a reverse COVID test from Godzilla, his stomach is upset, and he can't get moving.”

Everyone ridiculed him.

But soon, someone started to provide some background info.

“The Vajra Technique is no ordinary technique. It originated from the Longmen Sect of Quanzhen Daoism. It's one of the Daoist Qi-based health-preserving martial arts; ordinary people can't just learn it.”

“Holy crap? There's such a history? How did I not know?”

“To the person above, I told you to read more. I'm different; I'm young and studying at a top 1 university in the country, and I didn't know about this either.”

“The person above is spot on!”

“...”

Soon, that person from before continued to provide more info.

“The Vajra Longevity Technique applies the natural law of 'Unity of Heaven and Man.' Through eight sets of movements, it uses rigid internal energy to clear the meridians of the entire body.”

“It makes the connections of the torso, bones, and joints smooth, adjusts certain deformations and misalignments of the spine, and restores the nervous system to normal.”

“At the same time, it coordinates the operation of the internal organs and expels various pathogenic Qi from the body, thereby achieving the goals of balancing Yin and Yang, dispelling illness, fitness, and longevity through this martial arts health-preserving technique!”

“...”

Now that another expert was educating them, the general netizens quickly understood.

Who would have thought this Vajra Technique was so powerful?

“Is this probably fake? It's so slow... Is there an expert who can come and explain?”

“Even though Lin Heng is doing it with proper form, I also think it's fake.”

“Real or fake? Setting aside whether it's fake or real, first of all, I don't believe in these so-called traditional national arts. If you have this time, you might as well go do the eighth set of radio gymnastics. Look at those elementary school students; they do it with more energy than this.”

“To the person above, my suggestion is shaking your hips; that looks good and is energetic.”

Everyone expressed doubt about the technique Lin Heng was practicing.

It was observed that Lin Heng's initial movements were indeed a bit slow, but as his bones and muscles continued to coordinate, Lin Heng's speed gradually increased.

In this short amount of time, he had doubled his speed.

Of course, it was only doubled, and it still looked very slow.

The viewers in the livestream room were just watching for fun.

Most were just idling.

But there were also curious people who intended to follow Lin Heng's movements and try it out, to see if they could practice their way to peerless divine power, or at the very least, gain some longevity...

Though they said no with their mouths, their bodies were incredibly honest.

However, after they tried to do a set like Lin Heng, they immediately gave up.

Is this damn thing even for humans to learn?

Su Xueer was also curious for a moment and followed Lin Heng's movements to mimic them.

She couldn't keep going after less than five minutes.

After five minutes, she had surprisingly only done five movements, and they were the most basic ones!

Who could accept this?

“Give me my money back!”

“I don't believe in peerless martial arts in this world anymore. As a person with firm materialistic beliefs, I simply won't allow the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms to exist.”

“Everyone's sweating like crazy, right? Everyone stop practicing. This is just to clear your mind. I just tried it, and it really has that effect.”

“...”

No one believed Lin Heng was seriously practicing martial arts.

If this Eight Section Vajra Skill was really useful, why hadn't... well, Lin Heng was indeed impressive, they couldn't compare to him.

It was also the first time they had seen such a boring scene from Lin Heng.

“Give me my money back! The rest are just shills, I'm not watching anymore.”

Soon, the words 'Refund' were typed out, and the number of people in the livestream room began to drop frantically.

In a short while, it was about to fall below the one hundred million mark.

Su Xueer looked a bit panicked.

She could only pray now that Lin Heng would provide some kind of plot twist in a moment to stabilize the numbers.

And at this time, Lin Heng finally finished a set.

He gently let out a breath and only felt that his body was extremely comfortable.

Moving a little and shaking his shoulders, Lin Heng soon walked out of the backyard.

Huh?

It's over just like that?

Everyone thought he could perform something fancy, but they didn't expect him to just leave after a few movements?

Moreover, these few movements had cost them almost half an hour...

Even if they were cheated by Plants vs. Zombies: Ultimate Edition, they actually saw Dr. Zomboss fall, but this...

It was unreasonable to not even hear a sound.

Everyone felt that even the harshest 'IQ tax' they had ever paid wasn't this exaggerated.

Suddenly, someone noticed something different.

“Look at the ground, quick!”

“That pattern??”

“Holy crap!!”

The leaves in the courtyard had formed a Taiji diagram at some unknown point!
